[104] Although some features may be described with respect to individual exemplary em bodiments, aspects need not be limited thereto such that features from one or more exemplary embodiments may be combinable with other features from one or more exemplary embodiments. [105] The aspects of the invention in this application are not limited to the disclosed op erations and sequence of operations. For instance, operations may be performed by various elements and components, may be consolidated, may be omitted, and may be altered without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [106] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by explaining preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the attached drawings. [107] FIGURE 1 is a diagram showing a structure for registering a peripheral device 120 to a network device 110, according to an exemplary embodiment. [108] A user device 100 refers to an electronic device capable of transmitting and receiving data via wired or wireless communication with another device. For example, the user device 100 may include a smart phone, a tablet personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gateway, and various other communication devices. [109] The user device 100 may be connected to at least one peripheral device 120. Here, the user device 100 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 via any of various communication methods. For example, the user device 100 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 via close-distance wireless communication, such as the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless communication standard, or may be connected to the peripheral device 120 by wire via a communication cable. [110] Here, a first device being connected to a second device means that the first device WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 becomes capable of performing data communication with the second device. For example, if a first device is connected to a second device via Bluetooth wireless com munication, the first device being connected to the second device may mean that the first device performs pairing with the second device and the first device and the second device become capable of performing communication therebetween by inputting a password therefor. [111] According to an exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may obtain device in formation regarding the connected peripheral device 120. Here, the device information may include information for recognizing the peripheral device 120. According to another embodiment, the device information may include at least one of information for recognizing the peripheral device 120, information for connecting to the peripheral device 120, information for controlling the peripheral device 120, and information for checking a status of the peripheral device 120. [112] For example, the device information may include a name of the peripheral device 120, a group to which the peripheral device 120 belongs, communication networks supported by the peripheral device 120, an internet protocol (IP) address, a media access control (MAC) address, and a current status of the peripheral device 120. [113] According to an exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may obtain information for connecting to and controlling the peripheral device 120 as device information. For example, service set identification (SSID) and an access password of the peripheral device 120, which may be obtained when the user device 100 is connected to the pe ripheral device 120, may be obtained as device information. [114] Furthermore, according to another exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may request the peripheral device 120 to transmit device information thereof via a connection to the peripheral device 120. The peripheral device 120 may transmit device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the user device 100 in response to the request. [115] According to an exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may register the obtained device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. Here, registration of the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 refers to storing device information regarding the peripheral device 120 in the network device 110. The device information may be stored not only in an internal memory arranged at the network device 110, but also in an external memory or an external server connected to the network device 110. Element 120(b) in Figure 1 shows the peripheral device 120 after the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110. [116] Here, the network device 110 refers to a device which is capable of performing wired or wireless communication with other devices and storing data. Here, it is not necessary to store data in the network device 110, and the network device 110 may WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 store data in an external device. [117] The network device 110 may establish communications with other devices, thereby forming a network having a variable topology. For example, when the network device 110 is connected to another peripheral device 130, the network device 110 may register the peripheral device 120 and may be connected to the peripheral device 120, thereby forming a network having a connection structure in which the network device 110, the peripheral device 120, and the peripheral device 130 are connected. [118] Furthermore, the term topology refers to a connection form or a connection structure between devices. A topology may include a physical topology and a logical topology, where a topology may be determined based on physical or logical connections between devices belonging to a topology structure. For example, a topology may be dis tinguished from another topology based on at least one from among a connection rela tionship between devices, connection methods between devices, data transmission rates between devices, data flow between devices, and types of applications installed on devices. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. [119] Furthermore, the user device 100, the network device 110, the peripheral device 120, and the other peripheral device 130 constituting a topology may be determined based on locations of devices and a role of each device with respect to other devices in a topology structure. Therefore, a corresponding device may function as at least one from among the user device 100, the network device 110, the peripheral device 120, and the other peripheral device 130. [120] The peripheral device 120 and the other peripheral device 130 are devices providing functions for executing services in connection with other devices. Furthermore, the pe ripheral device 120 and the other peripheral device 130 may autonomously control other devices to provide services or may operate under control instructions received from other devices. For example, the peripheral device 120 and the other peripheral device 130 may include passive devices, such as headphones and earphones, and active devices, such as smart phones or tablet PCs. [121] FIGURE 2 is a flowchart showing a process in which a device control system registers a peripheral device to the network device 110, according to an exemplary em bodiment. [122] First, the user device 100 obtains device information regarding the peripheral device 120 connected to the user device 100 (operation S210). [123] Here, as the peripheral device 120 is connected, the user device 100 may execute an application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. Here, if no application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is installed, the user device 100 may download and install a corresponding application. [124] Here, according to an exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may cumulatively WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 store device information regarding the peripheral device 120. For example, the user device 100 may store time points and number of times that the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120. [125] Furthermore, the user device 100 may obtain device information every time the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120. Alternatively, the user device 100 may periodically obtain device information at a corresponding time interval or may obtain device information when a request for transmitting device information is received from the network device 110. A time when the user device 100 obtains device information may vary according to exemplary embodiments. [126] Next, the user device 100 may transmit device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 (operation S220). The network device 110 may receive the device information regarding the peripheral device 120 and store the received device information (operation S230). [127] The network device 110 may send information to the other peripheral device 130 regarding the peripheral device 120. The other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110 may control the peripheral device 120 by using the device in formation stored in the network device 110 (operation S240). [128] Here, the other peripheral device 130 may execute an application for controlling the peripheral device 120. Here, if no application for controlling the peripheral device 120 is installed on the other peripheral device 130, the other peripheral device 130 may download and install a corresponding application for controlling the peripheral device 120. [129] According to an exemplary embodiment, device information may include in formation regarding a uniform resource locator (URL) for downloading an application for controlling the peripheral device 120. Information regarding a URL included in device information may indicate a location of a file for installing an application for controlling the peripheral device 120. The other peripheral device 130 may download an application for controlling the peripheral device 120 by using information regarding a URL included in device information. [130] Furthermore, according to another exemplary embodiment, the network device 110 may transmit information regarding recommended services related to device in formation to the user device 100 based on received device information. For example, if device information relates to a game controller, the network device 110 may transmit information regarding related game contents to the user device 100. [131] Furthermore, according to another exemplary embodiment, the user device 100 may receive device information from the network device 110. Next, as the user device 100 is connected to a second network device, the user device 100 may transmit the device information received from the network device 110 to the second network device. Here, WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 the second network device may control a peripheral device connected to the second network device by using the received device information. For example, if an illu mination device connected to the network device 110 was turned on and a television connected to the network device 110 was turned off when the user device 100 was connected to the network device 110, an illumination device connected to the second network device may be turned on and a television connected to the second network device may be turned off as the user device 100 is connected to the second network device. [132] Furthermore, according to an exemplary embodiment, not only the other peripheral device 130, but also the network device 110 may also execute an application for con trolling the peripheral device 120 and control the peripheral device 120. [133] Here, when a first device controls a second device, the first device not only makes the second device perform an action by transmitting a control instruction to the second device, but also receives a control instruction from the second device and performs a corresponding action. In other words, control instructions may be not only transmitted unilaterally from one device to another, but may also be exchanged between two devices. [134] FIGURE 3 is a flowchart showing a process in which the user device 100 registers the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to an exemplary em bodiment. [135] First, the user device 100 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 (operation S310). Here, the user device 100 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 via any of various communication methods. For example, the user device 100 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 via close-distance wireless communication, such as the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless communication standard, or may be connected to the peripheral device 120 by wire via a communication cable. [136] Next, as the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120, the user device 100 may execute an application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 (operation S320). Here, if no application for registering the pe ripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is installed, the user device 100 may download and install a corresponding application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. [137] Next, the user device 100 may obtain device information regarding the peripheral device 120 from the peripheral device 120 via the executed application (operation S330). The obtained device information regarding the peripheral device 120 may be transmitted to the network device 110 connected to the user device 100 (operation S340). [138] Here, according to an exemplary embodiment, if the user device 100 detects a WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 connection to the network device 110, the user device 100 may transmit the device in formation to the network device 110. In this case, the user device 100 may transmit device information to the network device 110 only if the user device 100 has been previously connected to the network device 110. Since device information is only transmitted to the network device 110 to which the user device 100 has been previously connected, unnecessary transmission of device information may be prevented. [139] According to another exemplary embodiment, when device information is requested by the network device 110, the user device 100 may transmit the device information to the network device 110. [140] Furthermore, the user device 100 may check an intention of a user and transmit device information either by selecting the network device 110 to which the device in formation is to be transmitted based on a user input and transmitting the device in formation or by displaying a user interface (UI) asking a user whether to transmit the device information or not. [141] FIGS. 4a through 4d are diagrams showing the user device 100 registering the pe ripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to an exemplary embodiment. [142] FIGURE 4a is a diagram showing the user device 100 which displays a UI asking a user whether to transmit device information or not before the device information is transmitted. The user device 100 may output a UI asking a user whether to transmit device information or not before the device information is transmitted to the network device 110. [143] FIGURE 4b is a diagram showing a UI for selecting device information to be transmitted to the network device 110 from among device information of a plurality of peripheral devices 120 connected to the user device 100. The user device 100 may display a list of the plurality of peripheral devices 120 connected to the user device 100 and may select device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to be transmitted to the network device 110 according to a user input. The user device 100 may transmit only device information of the selected peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. [144] FIGS. 4a and 4b merely show examples for convenience of explanation, and various modifications may be made in a UI to be displayed on the network device 110. [145] FIGURE 4c is a diagram showing that the user device 100 transmits device in formation regarding a peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. The other pe ripheral device 130 may include devices previously connected to the network device 110 before the peripheral device 120 is registered and devices connected to the network device 110 after the peripheral device 120 is registered. [146] FIGURE 4d is a diagram showing the structure of a device registered to the network WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 device 110 after the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110. Communication may be established between the network device 110, the peripheral device 120 registered to the network device 110, and the other peripheral device 130. The peripheral device 120, and the other peripheral device 130 may control each other by using the device information stored in the network device 110. [147] FIGURE 5 is a diagram showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to an exemplary embodiment. [148] First, the peripheral device 120 establishes communication with the user device 100 (operation S510). As the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120, the user device 100 executes an application for registering the peripheral device 120 (operation S520). [149] Next, the peripheral device 120 transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the user device 100 (operation S530). The user device 100 may store received device information (operation S540). Here, it is not necessary to store device information in the user device 100, and thus operation S540 may be omitted. [150] Next, the user device 100 is connected to the network device 110 (operation S550). As the user device 100 detects a connection to the peripheral device 120, the user device 100 transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 (operation S560). The network device 110 stores received device information (operation S570). [151] FIGURE 6 is a flowchart showing a process in which the user device 100 registers the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 according to an exemplary em bodiment. [152] First, the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120 (operation S610). As the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120, the user device 100 determines whether a corresponding application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is installed (operation S620). [153] If the corresponding application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is not installed, the user device 100 downloads and installs the cor responding application (operation S625). If the corresponding application is installed, the user device 100 executes the application (operation S630). [154] Next, the user device 100 may obtain device information from the peripheral device 120 by using the executed application (operation S640). Here, the user device 100 may request device information from the peripheral device 120. The user device 100 may obtain device information by receiving the device information from the peripheral device 120 in response to the request for transmitting the device information. For example, the user device 100 may request information regarding all network types supported by the peripheral device 120.
WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 [155] Next, if the user device 100 detects a connection to the network device 110 (operation S650), the user device 100 may transmit device information to the network device 110 (operation S660). If connection to the network is not detected the user device may periodically search for connection as shown in FIGURE 6. [156] FIGURE 7 is a diagram showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to another exemplary embodiment. [157] First, the peripheral device 120 establishes communication with the user device 100 (operation S710). As the peripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100, the user device 100 executes an application for registering the peripheral device 120 (operation S720). [158] Next, the peripheral device 120 transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the user device 100 (operation S730). The user device 100 may store received device information (operation S740). Here, it is not necessary to store device information in the user device 100, and thus operation S740 may be omitted. [159] Next, the network device 110 requests the user device 100 to transmit device in formation (operation S750). The user device 100 transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 in response to the received request for transmitting the device information (operation S760). The pe ripheral device 120 stores the received device information (operation S770). [160] FIGURE 8 is a flowchart showing a process that the user device 100 registers the pe ripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to another exemplary em bodiment. [161] First, the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120 (operation S810). As the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120, the user device 100 determines whether a corresponding application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is installed (operation S820). [162] If the corresponding application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 is not installed, the user device 100 downloads and installs the cor responding application (operation S825). If the corresponding application is installed, the user device 100 executes the application (operation S830).

WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 [165] FIGURE 9 is a diagram showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to another exemplary embodiment. [166] First, the peripheral device 120 establishes communication with the user device 100 (operation S910). As the peripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100, the user device 100 executes an application for registering the peripheral device 120 (operation S920).

Here, the user device 100 may request the peripheral device 120 to transmit device in formation together with connection information regarding the network device 110. [168] The peripheral device 120 may be connected to the network device 110 by using the connection information regarding the network device 110 received from the user device 100. The peripheral device 120 connected to the network device 110 may transmit device information to the network device 110 (operation S950). The network device 110 stores received device information (operation S960).

Here, the user device 100 may request device information at the peripheral device. The user device 100 may obtain device information by receiving the device information from the peripheral device 120 in response to the request for transmitting the device information. [173] Next, if the user device 100 detects a connection to the network device 110 (operation S 1050), the user device 100 may transmit device information to the network device 110 (operation S 1060). [174] FIGURE 11 is a diagram showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, according to another exemplary embodiment. [175] First, the peripheral device 120 establishes communication with the user device 100 WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 (operation Si 110). As the peripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100, the user device 100 executes an application for registering the peripheral device 120 (operation S 1120).

Here, the user device 100 may request device information at the peripheral device 120. The user device 100 may obtain device information by receiving the device information from the peripheral device 120 in response to the request for transmitting the device information. [182] Next, if the user device 100 receives a request for transmitting device information from the network device 110 (operation S 1250), the user device 100 may request the peripheral device 120 to transmit device information (operation S 1260). [183] FIGURE 13 is a flowchart showing that the network device 110 registers and controls the peripheral device 120, according to an exemplary embodiment. [184] First, the network device 110 stores device information received from the user device 100 (operation S13 10). Next, the network device 110 executes an application regarding the peripheral device 120 (operation S 1320). If the application regarding the peripheral device 120 is not installed, the network device 110 may download and install the ap- WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 plication regarding the peripheral device 120. [185] According to an exemplary embodiment, the application regarding the peripheral device 120 may be an application for controlling the peripheral device 120. For example, if the peripheral device 120 is a television, the network device 110 to which the television is registered may recognize that the peripheral device 120 is the television based on device information and may install an application for controlling the television. [186] Next, the network device 110 is connected to the peripheral device 120 by using the device information. For example, the network device 110 may be connected to the pe ripheral device 120 via a Wi-Fi network by using a SSID, an IP address, and a Wi-Fi access password included in the device information. [187] Next, the network device 110 may control the connected peripheral device 120.

[191] FIGURE 15 is a diagram showing a change of a topology when the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120, according to an exemplary embodiment. [192] Before the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110, the pe ripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100 (1510). [193] When the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120 after the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110 as shown in FIGURE 14, the pe ripheral device 120 is connected to the network device 110 (1520). [194] FIGURE 16 is a diagram showing a process in which the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120 by using device information, according to another exemplary embodiment. [195] According to an exemplary embodiment, if there is no match between networks supported by the peripheral device 120 and networks supported by the network device 110, control instructions may be transmitted via the user device 100. [196] For example, if the peripheral device 120 only supports Bluetooth communication and the network device 110 only supports Wi-Fi communication, control instructions WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 may be transmitted via the user device 100 which supports both Bluetooth commu nication and Wi-Fi communication. In other words, the network device 110 may transmit control instructions to the user device 100 via Wi-Fi communication, and then the user device 100 may transmit the control instructions to the peripheral device 120 via Bluetooth control instruction. [197] According to an exemplary embodiment, the network device 110 may execute an ap plication for controlling the peripheral device 120 according to the peripheral device 120 (operation S1610). Next, the network device 110 transmits control instructions for controlling the peripheral device 120 to the user device 100 (operation S 1620). The user device 100 transmits the received control instructions to the peripheral device 120 (operation S 1630). [198] FIGURE 17 is a diagram showing a change of a topology when the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120, according to another exemplary embodiment. [199] Before the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110, the pe ripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100 (1710). [200] When the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120 via the user device 100 as shown in FIGURE 16, the network device 110 is connected to the user device 100, and the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120 (1720). [201] FIGURE 18 is a flowchart showing a process in which the other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110 controls the peripheral device 120 registered to the network device 110, according to an exemplary embodiment. [202] First, the network device 110 stores device information regarding the peripheral device 120 received from the user device 100 (operation S1810). [203] Next, the network device 110 transmits device information to the other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110 (operation S1820). [204] Here, according to an exemplary embodiment, the network device 110 may issue au thorization to control the peripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130. Au thorizations to control the peripheral device 120 issued to the other peripheral devices 130 may vary. For example, if the plurality of other peripheral devices 130 exist, unlimited authorizations regarding the peripheral device 120 may be issued to some of the plurality of other peripheral devices 130, whereas one-time authorizations may be issued to some others of the plurality of the other peripheral devices 130. [205] According to an exemplary embodiment, authorization to control the peripheral device 120 may be valid for a corresponding number of times, a corresponding period of time, or a corresponding control operation. For example, authorization for a corre sponding number of times may allow the other peripheral device 130 to be connected to the peripheral device 120 and to control the peripheral device 120 only once. When the connection between the other peripheral device 130 and the peripheral device 120 WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 is terminated once, the other peripheral device 130 may no longer be authorized to control the peripheral device 120. Furthermore, authorization for a corresponding period of time may allow the other peripheral device 130 to control the peripheral device 120 only for an hour since the authorization to control the peripheral device 120 is issued to the other peripheral device 130. Furthermore, authorization for a corre sponding control operation may allow the other peripheral device 130 to perform a control operation related media reproduction with respect to the peripheral device 120 capable of reproducing and editing media. Moreover, the peripheral device 130 may be authorized to perform only certain control operations on the peripheral device 120 according to a set of permission granted to the peripheral device 130. For example, a peripheral device 130 may be authorized to read data from the peripheral device 120 but may not be allowed to write or modify data on the peripheral device 120. Another peripheral device 130 may have the permission to perform both reading and modifying data on the peripheral device 120. [206] According to an exemplary embodiment, the network device 110 may recognize the other peripheral device 130 and issue authorization based on a result of the recognition. For example, regarding a printer installed to a company gateway, unlimited autho rizations may be issued to terminals of employees, whereas one-time authorizations may be issued to terminals of visitors. [207] Next, the other peripheral device 130 may control the peripheral device 120 based on device information (operation S1830). [208] Here, according to an exemplary embodiment, if the network device 110 issues au thorization to control the peripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130, the other peripheral device 130 may control the peripheral device 120 based on the issued authorization. [209] FIGURE 19 is a diagram showing a process in which the other peripheral device 130 controls the peripheral device 120 by using device information, according to an exemplary embodiment. [210] First, the other peripheral device 130 is connected to the network device 110 (operation S 1910). Next, the network device 110 issues authorization to control the pe ripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130 (operation S 1920). For example, a temporary ID may be issued to the other peripheral device 130. However, operation S 1920 may be omitted according to exemplary embodiments, and the network device 110 may transmit device information to the other peripheral device 130 without any particular control authorization. [211] Next, the network device 110 may transmit device information regarding the pe ripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130 (operation S1930). When the device information is received, the other peripheral device 130 executes an application WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 for controlling the peripheral device 120 (operation S 1940). Here, if the application for controlling the peripheral device 120 is not installed on the other peripheral device 130, the other peripheral device 130 may download and install the application for con trolling the peripheral device 120. [212] Next, the other peripheral device 130 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 by using connection information regarding the peripheral device 120 included in the device information (operation S 1950). The other peripheral device 130 connected to the peripheral device 120 may transmit control instructions to the peripheral device 120 (operation S1960). [213] FIGURE 20 is a diagram showing a change of a topology when the other peripheral device 130 controls the peripheral device 120, according to another exemplary em bodiment. [214] First, before the peripheral device 120 is connected to the network device 110, the peripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100. Furthermore, the other pe ripheral device 130 is connected to the network device 110 (2010). [215] If the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110 and the other pe ripheral device 130 receives device information and controls the peripheral device 120, the peripheral device 120 may be connected to the other peripheral device 130 (2020). [216] FIGURE 21 is a diagram showing a process in which the other peripheral device 130 controls the peripheral device 120 by using device information, according to another exemplary embodiment. [217] First, the other peripheral device 130 is connected to the network device 110 (operation S2110). Next, the network device 110 issues authorization to control the pe ripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130 (operation S2120). For example, a temporary ID may be issued to the other peripheral device 130. However, operation S2120 may be omitted according to exemplary embodiments, and the network device 110 may transmit device information to the other peripheral device 130 without any particular control authorization according to exemplary embodiments. [218] Next, the network device 110 may transmit device information regarding the pe ripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130 (operation S2130). Here, according to an exemplary embodiment, the network device 110 may transmit device information without information for connecting to the peripheral device 120, such as a SSID of the peripheral device 120 or a Wi-Fi password, to the other peripheral device 130. [219] When the device information is received, the other peripheral device 130 executes an application for controlling the peripheral device 120 (operation S2140). Here, if the ap plication for controlling the peripheral device 120 is not installed on the other pe ripheral device 130, the other peripheral device 130 may download and install the ap- WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 plication for controlling the peripheral device 120 [220] Next, the other peripheral device 130 transmits control instructions to the network device 110 (operation S2150). The network device 110, which received the control in structions, may transmit the control instructions to the peripheral device 120 (operation S2160). [221] FIGURE 22 is a diagram showing a change of a topology when the other peripheral device 130 controls the peripheral device 120, according to another exemplary em bodiment. [222] First, before the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110, the pe ripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100. Furthermore, the other pe ripheral device 130 is connected to the network device 110 (2210). The other pe ripheral device 130 may be connected to the network device 110 (2210). [223] If the peripheral device 120 is registered to the network device 110 and the other pe ripheral device 130 receives device information and controls the peripheral device 120, the peripheral device 120 and the other peripheral device 130 may be connected to the network device 110 (2020). The peripheral device 120 and the other peripheral device 130 may transmit and receive control instructions via the network device 110. However, the peripheral device 130 may send commands controlling the peripheral device 120 via one or more communication paths. The one or more communication paths may include and/or involve various combinations of network devices, user devices, and peripheral devices. For example, the peripheral device 130 may send commands controlling the peripheral device 120 via a communication path including only the network device but not the user device; the peripheral device 130 may send commands controlling the peripheral device 120 via a communication path including only an user device but not a network device; or the peripheral device 130 may send commands controlling the peripheral device 120 directly to the peripheral device 120 without intervening network or user devices. [224] FIGURE 23 is a schematic diagram showing structures of the user device 100 and the network device 110 included in a device control system, according to an exemplary embodiment. [225] The device system according to an exemplary embodiment may include the user device 100, which obtains device information regarding the peripheral device 120 and transmits the device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110, the network device 110, which stores the device information received from the user device 100 and transmits the device information to the other peripheral device 130, and the other peripheral device 130, which controls the peripheral device 120 by using the device information stored in the network device 110. [226] Here, the network device 110 according to an exemplary embodiment includes a WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 communication unit 2313 which receives device information regarding the peripheral device 120 connected to the user device 100 and transmits device information to the other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110 based on a connection to the user device 100, a control unit 2312 which recognizes the other pe ripheral device 130 and determines whether to transmit device information based on a result of the recognition, and a storage unit 2311 which stores device information. [227] According to an exemplary embodiment, the communication unit 2313 arranged at the network device 110 may perform data communication with another device. For example, the communication unit 2313 may be connected to another device via wireless communication, such as Wi-Fi and Near Field wireless communication(NFC), and exchange data with the connected device. Alternatively, the communication unit 2313 may be connected to another device by wire via a data communication cable and exchange data with the connected device. [228] According to an exemplary embodiment, the control unit 2312 arranged at the network device 110 recognizes the other peripheral device 130 and may determine whether to transmit device information regarding the peripheral device 120. For example, groups of devices that may be connected to the network device 110 may be set in advance, and device information may be transmitted to the other peripheral device 130 belonging to a particular group. Furthermore, the control unit 2312 may control components of the network device 110. [229] According to an exemplary embodiment, the storage unit 2311 arranged at the network device 110 may store device information. The storage unit 2311 may include a storage medium to and from which data may be written and read. [230] The user device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment may include a device information obtaining unit 2301 which obtains device information regarding the pe ripheral device 120, a communication unit 2303 which establishes communication with the network device 110 and transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110 based on a connection to the user device 100, and a control unit 2302 which controls components of the user device 100. [231] According to an exemplary embodiment, the device information obtaining unit 2301 arranged at the user device 100 may obtain device information regarding the peripheral device 120. Here, the device information obtaining unit 2301 may obtain information obtained as the user device 100 is connected to the peripheral device 120 as device in formation. For example, if the user device 100 and the peripheral device 120 are paired according to the Bluetooth communication standard, the device information obtaining unit 2301 may obtain identification information and a PIN code that are necessary for the pairing as device information. [232] Alternatively, the device information obtaining unit 2301 may generate a request for WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 transmitting device information regarding the peripheral device 120 and transmit the request to the peripheral device 120, thereby obtaining device information from the pe ripheral device 120. [233] Furthermore, according to an exemplary embodiment, the device information obtaining unit 2301 may include a storage medium for storing obtained device in formation. [234] According to an exemplary embodiment, the control unit 2302 arranged at the user device 100 may control components of the network device 110. Furthermore, as the peripheral device 120 is connected to the user device 100, the control unit 2302 may execute an application for registering the peripheral device 120 to the network device 110. [235] The peripheral device 120 according to an exemplary embodiment may transmit device information to the user device 100 and, if a connection request is received from the network device 110 or the other peripheral device 130 based on the device in formation, the peripheral device 120 may be connected to the network device 110 or the other peripheral device 130 and exchange control instructions therewith. [236] The other peripheral device 130 according to an exemplary embodiment may receive device information regarding the peripheral device 120 from the network device 110. The other peripheral device 130 which received the device information regarding the peripheral device 120 is connected to the peripheral device 120 and may control the peripheral device 120 by exchanging control instructions with the peripheral device 120. [237] FIGURE 24 is a flowchart showing a process in which the network device 110 issues authorization to control the peripheral device 120 to the other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110, according to an exemplary embodiment. [238] First, the network device 110 may receive a request for authorization to control the peripheral device 120 from the other peripheral device 130 connected to the network device 110. Here, the authorization to control the peripheral device 120 may refer to information for controlling a device used to provide service for the other peripheral device 130. [239] According to an exemplary embodiment, the request for the authorization to control the peripheral device 120 may include information for the network device 110 to select the peripheral device 120. For example, when the other peripheral device 130 transmits control authorization including information regarding a game service provided by the other peripheral device 130 to the network device 110, the network device 110 searches for peripheral devices related to the game service. If a game controller, which is a peripheral device related to the game service, is registered to the network device 110, the network device 110 may select the game controller as the peripheral device WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 120 regarding which the network device 110 will issue control authorization. [240] Next, the network device 110 recognizes the other peripheral device 130 (operation S2420) and may generate IDs having different authorizations based on a result of the recognition (operation S2430). Next, the other peripheral device 130 may control the peripheral device 120 based on the generated ID (operation S2440). [241] FIGURE 25 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which a mobile phone controls a printer registered to a gateway, according to an exemplary embodiment. [242] First, a printer 120-1 establishes data communication with a tablet PC 100-1 (operation S25 10). Here, the tablet PC 100-1 may obtain device information of the printer 120-1. [243] Next, the tablet PC 100-1 registers the printer 120-1 to a gateway 110-1 by transmitting device information of the printer 120-1 to the gateway 110-1 (operation S2520). Here, the gateway 110-1 may be installed at a public location, such as an office or a resident center. [244] Next, a mobile phone 130-1 establishes data communication with the gateway 110-1 (operation S2530). When the mobile phone 130-1 establishes the data communication with the gateway 110-1, the gateway 110-1 may recognize the mobile phone 130-1. For example, it may be determined whether the mobile phone 130-1 is a terminal belonging to an authorized user and is registered to the gateway 110-1. [245] Next, the gateway 110-1 issues authorization to control the printer 120-1 to the mobile phone 130-1. The gateway 110-1 may issue authorization to control the printer 120-1 to the mobile phone 130-1 based on a result of recognizing the mobile phone 130-1. For example, if the mobile phone 130-1 is a terminal belonging to an autho rizeduser and is registered to the gateway 110-1, unlimited control authorization may be issued to the mobile phone 130-1. On the contrary, if the mobile phone 130-1 is a terminal belonging to an authorizeduser and is not registered to the gateway 110-1, control authorization for printing a document via the printer 120-1 only once may be issued to the mobile phone 130-1. [246] Next, the mobile phone 130-1 may print a document by controlling the printer 120-1 based on the control authorization. [247] FIGURE 26 is a schematic diagram showing an example of registering education terminals connected to a lecture terminal to a large-size display device and controlling the education terminals, according to an exemplary embodiment. [248] First, a plurality of education terminals 120-2 transmit device information to a lecture terminal 100-2 (operation S2610). [249] For example, as near field communication (NFC) is established between the education terminal 120-2 and the lecture terminal 100-2, the education terminal 120-2 may transmit device information to the lecture terminal 100-2 via the NFC. According WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 to an exemplary embodiment, the lecture terminal 100-2 may check attendances of students by using received device information. [250] Here, it is not necessary for the education terminal 120-2 to be directly connected to the lecture terminal 100-2, and the education terminal 120-2 may transmit device in formation regarding the peripheral device 120 to the lecture terminal 100-2 via another device. [251] Next, the lecture terminal 100-2 is connected to a large-size display device 110-2 (operation S2620). Here, the lecture terminal 100-2 may transmit device information regarding the education terminal 120-2 to the large-size display device 110-2. [252] Next, the large-size display device 110-2 is connected to the education terminal 120-2 based on the device information (operation S2630). Here, the large-size display device 110-2 may be connected to the education terminal 120-2 via a network supported by the education terminal 120-2 as indicated in the device information. For example, if the education terminal 120-2 only supports Wi-Fi communication and the large-size display device 110-2 supports Wi-Fi communication and Bluetooth commu nication, the large-size display device 110-2 may be connected to the education terminal 120-2 via Wi-Fi communication. [253] Next, the large-size display device 110-2 may share lecture data with the education terminal 120-2 and the lecture terminal 100-2 by controlling the education terminal 120-2 (operation S2640). Here, the sharing of the lecture data refers to the ability of users to watch the same lecture data via the large-size display device 110-2 and the education terminal 120-2. [254] According to an exemplary embodiment, the education terminal 120-2 may request the large-size display device 110-2 for control authorization regarding lecture data. By approving a request for authorization received from the education terminal the education terminal may control the data displayed on the large-size display device. Therefore, lecture data displayed on the large-size display device 110-2 may be controlled via the education terminal 120-2 by a user of the education terminal, and thus a student may give a presentation. [255] On the contrary, the large-size display device 110-2 may issue control authorization regarding lecture data to the education terminal 120-2. [256] Furthermore, according to an exemplary embodiment, the lecture terminal 100-2 may control lecture materials displayed on the large-size display device 110-2. The large size display device 110-2 may control the educational terminal 120-2 such that the ed ucational terminal 120-2 displays the lecture materials displayed on the large-size display device 110-2. [257] FIGURE 27 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which a peripheral device connected to a home gateway is registered to a mobile phone 110-3 and the mobile WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 phone 110-3 controls the peripheral device, according to an exemplary embodiment. [258] First, the mobile phone 110-3 may store a log regarding peripheral devices connected to the mobile phone 110-3 (operation S27 10). Here, the log stored in the mobile phone 110-3 may include information regarding services provided by using the peripheral devices and types of the peripheral devices. [259] For example, if the mobile phone 110-3 has provided a game service by using a first speaker 2701 and a first game controller 2702, device information regarding the first speaker 2701 and the first game controller 2702 used for using the game service may be stored. [260] Next, the mobile phone 110-3 is connected to the home gateway 100-3 (operation S2720). Here, at least one peripheral device 120-3 may be registered to the home gateway 100-3. [261] Next, the home gateway 100-3 may transmit device information regarding the registered peripheral device 120-3 to the mobile phone 110-3 (operation S2730). [262] Next, the mobile phone 110-3 may select device information regarding a second speaker and second game controller 120-3 based on a log stored in the mobile phone 110-3 from the device information received from the home gateway 100-3. Based on the selected device information, the mobile phone 110-3 may be connected to the second speaker and second game controller 120-3 and may exchange control in structions with the second speaker and second game controller 120-3. [263] Here, the mobile phone 110-3 may transmit control instructions either directly to the second speaker and second game controller 120-3 or via the home gateway 100-3.

[265] A user device 100-4 is connected to a first network device 2800, and the first network device 2800 may transmit device information regarding the peripheral device 120 connected to the first network device 2800 to the user device 100-4. [266] The user device 100-4 which obtained the device information regarding the pe ripheral device 120 connected to the first network device 2800 may register the obtained device information to a second network device 110-4. [267] According to an exemplary embodiment, the second network device 110-4 or the other peripheral device 130 connected to the second network device 110-4 may be connected to the peripheral device 120 registered to the first network device 2800 and control the peripheral device 120 by using device information registered to the second network device 110-4. [268] Furthermore, according to another exemplary embodiment, the second network device 110-4 may control the other peripheral device 130 connected to the second network device 110-4 based on device information registered by the user device 100-4.
WO 2014/092441 PCT/KR2013/011442 For example, if device information indicates that an illumination device registered by the user device 100-4 was turned on and a television registered by the user device 100-4 was turned off when the user device 100-4 was connected to the first network device 2800, the second network device 110-4 may turn on an illumination device connected to the second network device 110-4 on and may turn off a television connected to the second network device 110-4, as the user device 100-4 is connected to the second network device 110-4, from among the other peripheral devices 130 connected to the second network device 110-4. [269] FIGURE 29 is a flowchart showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120, according to another exemplary embodiment. [270] First, the user device 100-4 obtains device information regarding the peripheral device 120 connected to the first network device 2800 (operation S29 10). [271] Next, the user device 100-4 stores connection information and obtained device in formation regarding the first network device 2800 (operation S2920). [272] Next, the user device 100-4 is connected to the second network device 110-4 (operation S2930). When the user device 100-4 recognizes a connection to the second network device 110-4 or receives a request for transmitting device information from the second network device 110-4, the user device 100-4 may transmit device in formation to the second network device 110-4. [273] FIGURE 30 is a flowchart showing a process for registering the peripheral device 120 according to another exemplary embodiment. [274] First, the user device 100-4 is connected to the first network device 2800 (operation S3010). Next, as the user device 100-4 is connected to the first network device 2800, the user device 100-4 executes an application for registering the peripheral device 120 (operation S3020). [275] Next, the first network device 2800 transmits device information regarding the pe ripheral device 120 connected to the first network device 2800 (operation S3030). The user device 100-4 which executed the application for registering the peripheral device 120 may obtain device information regarding the peripheral device 120. [276] Next, the user device 100-4 is connected to the second network device 110-4 (operation S3040). The user device 100-4 transmits device information regarding the peripheral device 120 connected to the first network device 2800 to the second network device 110-4 (operation S3050). The second network device 110-4 stores received device information (operation S3060).
